Chapter 909 Rumors

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Lin Huaiyu had a very comfortable time.

It wasn't even an exaggeration to say that this was the happiest period of time that Lin Huaiyu had spent in many years.

After Lin Congzheng was promoted from First Deputy Director of the Development Committee to Principal Director, the speculation and rumors about the Lin Family in Nine Continents City disappeared.

Before the plenary session, there were rumors in Nine Continents City that the royal family would transfer Lin Congzheng away from Nine Continents City to serve as the governor of a province in the west of the empire. Lin Huaiyu, Lin Congzheng, and everyone from the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City had been worried about this for a long time.

Lin Congzheng was originally transferred from the position of governor of Wuyue Province to the Development Committee, the governor of the empire 's most developed province served as the first deputy to the most important part of the cabinet, Actually fulfilling the first-in-command's accusation, Although it wasn't a high promotion, but by no means belittling, the First Deputy Director was transferred to a poor province as Governor, that 's true demeaning, Under normal circumstances, The First Deputy Director of the Development Committee, If he were to be released, only provincial party secretaries or mayors would be considered equal. If Lin Congzheng was really transferred to poor provinces in the west as governor, then he would undoubtedly be excluded from the core of the royal family. At least for one term, his political life would not improve in the slightest.

This rumor was very popular back then, Because Lin's several promotions in politics were all named by the royal family's bigwigs, However, the relationship between the royal clan and Lin Congzheng was not cold or hot. In other words, he was intentionally or unintentionally excluded from the core strength. And the war god Wang Lin Xuanyuan had such an obvious hatred for the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. Therefore, everyone would guess that the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City would continue to live half-dead until they disappeared from the circle of Nine Continents City.

However, the appointment of Lin Zheng after the plenary session surprised most people.

Lin Congzheng did not know what method he used to obtain the support of the War God King.

Of course, Lin Xuanyuan did not say anything, but he was no longer opposed to Lin Congzheng. In the eyes of the outside world, this was the greatest support for Lin Congzheng.

As for Lin Congzheng, he also took the lead and became the director of the Development Committee.

As a result, all speculation and rumors disappeared.

Because the situation was already clear.

If Lin Congzheng could still be excluded from the core when he was the first deputy director of the Development Committee, then after Lin Congzheng became the director, his position in the core of the royal family was completely stable.

The current director of the Development Committee and the State Councilor at the beginning of next year, Lin Congzheng, had already become the strongest right-hand man of the royal tycoon Chen Hualou. At the very least, his position would not waver for a short period of time.

The re-emergence of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City had already become a foregone conclusion.

Under such circumstances, The number of people who came to establish relations with the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City instantly increased. Even some of Lin Huaiyu's old subordinates who had already broken off with him began to visit. After many years of staying away from each other, the remnants of the northern faction seemed to regard Lin Huaiyu as their banner and Lin Congzheng as their leader.

Lin Huaiyu welcomed this one hundred and twenty thousand points. In his opinion, this was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

The northern faction has been suppressed quite bitterly over the years, The super-political bloc that could once be on par with the southwestern faction, The current situation is rather miserable, Especially after Lin Huaiyu and the others left, As their influence weakened, the Zhongqing Dynasty did not carry the banner. Right now, the main forces of the northern faction were all concentrated in Qinzhou Province. Furthermore, even in Qinzhou, the northern faction could not cover the sky. A large northern faction was now inferior to even a local faction.

The best faction in the north is He Chaoxi, secretary of the provincial party committee of Qinzhou, At his age, There's plenty of room to rise in a single term or even more, Originally, He Chaoxi was the core reserve force that the northern faction focused on cultivating, but now, in Qinzhou, he was forced into a sorry state by the second-in-command. He was about to retire early and retire for old age. After receiving the news that Lin Congzheng had become the director of the Development Committee, He Chaoxi almost didn't hesitate and went to the gate of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City.

Lin Huaiyu naturally had no reason not to accept it.

He Chaoxi treated him as a new banner and regarded Lin Congzheng as a new leader. With Lin Congzheng's support, He Chaoxi could easily stabilize his footing in Qinzhou Province. With He Chaoxi and a large number of Qinzhou cadres' support, Lin Congzheng's strength in the Development Committee was also stronger.

This is a matter of mutual benefit.

Moreover, the remnants of the northern faction would be merged into the royal family sooner or later. However, before they were truly merged into the royal family, Lin Congzheng could make good use of Qinzhou, a place that did not belong to the royal family but followed the lead of the royal family.

Qinzhou Province covers an area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, Nearly 40 million people live here, located in the hinterland of the northwest part of the empire, Straddling the middle of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, It is an important hub connecting the east, the middle, the region and the northwest and southwest of the empire. As the only vice-provincial city in Qinzhou, Chang'an is the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties of the empire. Although the indexes of the whole Qinzhou are not prominent in the empire, it has a very important position in agriculture, industry, construction and education.

If such a province could receive strong support, then the feedback was also very significant.

Lin Congzheng was in control of the Development Committee. If he could hold Qinzhou Province firmly in his hand, it would be equivalent to holding onto a path to the heavens!

If this idea succeeded, then it was almost certain that Lin Congzheng would emerge from the blue and surpass Lin Huaiyu's peak. The Lin Clan in Nine Continents City would also become one of the top rich clans in the empire.

After more than twenty years of ups and downs, Lin Huaiyu finally saw an incomparably beautiful future. He really felt like he was going to die without regrets.

However, he still planned to live for a few years and completely gather the remnants of the northern faction around Lin Congzheng.

In fact, most of the central members of the empire had even reached the position of feudal officials, but their influence would slowly decline after retirement.

As a member of the Policy Bureaux, Then there's no problem with influence, That is the true leader of the Party and the country, In any major faction, A member of a Policy Bureau has the status of a leader, Those who retired from this position, even if they were to retire for a long time, would still have the influence they deserved. This was the wealth of the entire country. Some powerful policy-making bureau members would occasionally go to the Dragon Sea after retiring for many years, and even be personally supported by the Empire's Supreme Head. Ordinary people would find it hard to imagine how powerful the energy behind them was.

But Lin Huaiyu was naturally an exception.

He was also a member of the empire's decision-making bureau and secretary of the empire's northern city party committee.

However, after the northern faction was suppressed, his influence had almost declined. After all, the entire faction was gone. What was the point of playing old age with the leaders of other factions? Not to mention that he had abandoned his daughter for the sake of the family, It also caused the hearts of many of the officials who treated him as the banner of the northern faction to freeze. They all changed their positions, so that Lin Huaiyu no longer had the feeling of echoing. Although the remnants of the northern faction had shrunk greatly, as long as they were united with him again, he could still hand over all the remnants of the northern faction to his son with his influence from many years ago.

With Lin Congzheng getting help, He Chaoxi getting support, and the Wang Family getting Qinzhou Province, everyone would be extremely satisfied.

When Lin Yiye walked into Lin Huaiyu's study, she saw her father talking on the phone with a smile on his face. Seeing him walk in, she only nodded and extended her hand to let him sit down. Then she smiled and said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

"Secretary He?"

Lin Yaoye sat on the sofa and looked at her father. She had just heard a morning call from Lin Huaiyu and wanted to know who it was.

Lin Huaiyu nodded casually. He looked at his son and smiled, "Is something the matter?"

"Yes."

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment and whispered, "There is a project that someone is looking for me to cooperate with. I intend to listen to your opinion."

In the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City, Lin Yingye, the second elder of the Lin family, was a relatively mediocre one of the three brothers. Lin Congzheng is now a hot political star in the empire, Third Brother Lin joined the army many years ago, after breaking with his family, he set up his own family, Now, there was a Lin Clan in the Northeast that was even more powerful than the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. Only the Lin Clan, who was in charge of the business affairs of the clan, had worked diligently for many years. Although he hadn't made any great achievements, he hadn't made any mistakes. The Mean was calm and composed, and he had a posture of being more than a pioneer.

"Talk to your brother about this and let him make his decision. Business has been good these days, right?"

Lin Huaiyu waved his hand and asked casually.

"That's right. I know what it means to be a successful person now. Business isn't just good these days. It can't be any better. It took me so long to understand that some people do business without having to do anything. Even if there is a shortage of funds, there are banks that come to solve the problem on their own initiative."

Lin Yaiye shook his head and sighed.

"Anyway, be careful. Stabilize yourself first and wait for your brother to be elected next year."

Lin Huaiyu was silent for a while and said slowly.

"Alright."

Lin Ye subconsciously nodded his head. As soon as he said that, he was suddenly shocked, "Dad, there will still be problems with my brother's affairs? What did Secretary He just say to you?"

"Don't be nervous. The matter is settled. I was afraid that an accident here would implicate your brother. I didn't say anything just now. I just asked about your brother and the household registration department."

Lin Huaiyu shook his head.

"Account Department?"

Lin Ye's eyes lit up as he recalled another rumor that had recently spread in Nine Continents City, and it was also a credible rumor.

Now that Lin Congzheng had completely stabilized his footing in the royal family, his path of advancement might change differently, or perhaps there would be other choices.

There are rumors that Lin Congzheng does not always control the Development Committee in the position of State Councilor. The position of Director of the Development Committee may be too much for him. Next year will be the last plenary session before the grand transformation. Lin Congzheng is likely to resign as Director of the Development Committee and be elected as a member of the Policy Bureau, a State Councilor, and a Minister of Housing.

It was hard to say which was better to go from the Development Committee to the Cabinet as Deputy Prime Minister or to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he personally felt that going to the Ministry of Household Affairs seemed to be a better choice.

"The six departments are going to be cancelled and reorganized for the matter of catching wind and shadows. Why do you want your brother to go to the Household Department?"

Lin Huaiyu shook his head.

Lin Yaiye also fell silent.

Yang Xiuyuan, the imperial prime minister, proposed to cancel the six divisions a few months ago, and passed them smoothly. Now, Wu Yue, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Minnan, Huating, Dongshan, Central Plains, Jiangnan, Beihu, Nanhu, Nanyun, Yanzhao, and Dongdong provinces have all cancelled the six divisions. It is expected that the six divisions of Nine Continents City will completely disappear before next year's plenary session.

Originally, the Ministry of Household Affairs would be split into a series of departments, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and so on. At this time, Lin Congzheng, as the core member of the royal family, naturally would not go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to occupy a position.

"If the household registration department is truly opened, there will be dozens of more ministries and commissions. The power in my brother's hands is equivalent to being weakened."

Lin Yingye was worried.

"What are you afraid of? At that time, even if your brother cannot enter the Policy Bureau, he will at least be a State Councilor. His status will not be affected in the slightest."

Lin Huaiyu said confidently.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

A year later, Lin Congzheng should have already taken control of Qinzhou Province. At that time, not only would his power not be weakened, it would be even greater.
